[INCH-POUND] A-A-55534/3A 23 December 2002 SUPERSEDING A-A-55534/3 19 February 1997 COMMERCIAL ITEM DESCRIPTION RESISTORS, FIXED, WIRE WOUND OR METAL ELEMENT, (POWER TYPE) STYLE VLV3 The General Services Administration has authorized the use of this commercial item description (CID) for all federal agencies. 1. SCOPE. This CID covers the general requirements for style VLV3 wire wound or metal element, power type, fixed resistors. The resistors covered by this CID are intended for commercial/industrial applications. 2. CLASSIFICATION. This CID uses a classification system which is included in the Part Identification Number (PIN). The PIN shall be AA55534/03- (plus a coded number) as shown in the following example. F | | Resistance tolerance (see 3.3) NOTE: This PIN has been derived in accordance with A-A-55534. AA55534/03 | | CID number - R010 | | Resistance value (see 3.2) B | | Termination finish (see 3.4) 3. SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS 3.1 Design and construction. The resistors supplied to this CID shall be as specified herein (see figure 1). 3.2 Resistance value. The resistance value shall be 0.005 ohm to 0.9 ohm. 3.3 Resistance tolerance. This style resistor is available in resistance tolerances F, H, and J (±1 percent, ±3 percent, and ±5 percent respectively). 3.4 Termination finish. The termination finish shall be identified by a single letter, B for tin/lead (Sn/Pb) (3 percent lead minimum) or T (Sn) for (100 percent tin). 3.5 Power rating. The power rating shall be 3.0 watt at +25°C. The power rating shall be linearly derated to zero at 275°C. Beneficial comments, recommendations, additions, deletions, clarifications, etc., and any data which may improve this document should be sent to: Defense Supply Center, Columbus, ATTN: DSCC-VAT, Post Office Box 3990, Columbus, OH 43216-5000, or telephone (614) 692-0553, or facsimile (FAX) (614) 692-6939.
